INGREDIENTS
100g Eggplant
1 Egg
1/4 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
3/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Marinara Sauce
1 Whole Grain Sandwich Roll
4 sprigs Fresh Basil Leaves
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 0.5 cm thick rounds. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg to create an egg wash.
Dip each eggplant slice into the egg wash, then coat evenly with panko bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder.
Arrange the coated eggplant slices on the baking sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes, flipping halfway until golden and crispy.
While the eggplant bakes, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat and prepare the sandwich roll by slicing it open.
Once the eggplant is done, layer the slices on the sandwich roll. Spoon a layer of warm marinara sauce on top of the eggplant.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the marinara, then add fresh basil leaves for an aromatic finish.
Place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles lightly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately.
